Church sound system.
My brother is involved with his local church which desperately needs a
decent sound system. The church is traditional Victorian which held perhaps 1000 in the days of pews - but now has movable seating so it can be used for other things in the week. Also the minister no longer preaches from a pulpit which has been removed anyway - he roams throughout the congregation, on a personal radio mic. He also carries a radio hand mic for contributions, etc. They've had several quotes, and the approaches are very different. The most expensive involves a phased array of speakers in the roof - all at a single point, as it were. With some sophisticated computer control. This is very much favoured by some due to looks - rather than having lots of small speakers on the walls. My feelings are that such a phased array could work very well with a fixed position for the minister - like a pulpit - as indeed did the existing line source columns either side of where the pulpit was. But am not convinced it will be fit and forget for a roaming minister. I'm not a church goer so have no direct experience of such things. So any comments? The very fact that 'church' recommended installers all have different approaches doesn't fill my brother with confidence. As the outlay will be a major one for a now much reduced congregation. -- *Broken pencils are pointless.* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
